It's getting close

Post by trevort »

Of course if you organise to take your wife out for her anniversary you know she will enjoy it more if she waits a few more hours.

Every good woman knows that gun stuff comes first. So I visited Kickinback yesterday before heading into the city.

My Cheesecake type mechanical skill levels make watching this stuff very interesting. He made the pillars and then installed them. Watching the aluminium bar turn into pillars was fascinating in itself


Cheers Glen. Just the flanellette to go

But how big a hole do you need to mill to get the trigger in if it is stuck :shock: :lol:
